Don't panic, this would have been staged under optimal conditions
for the AI scenario.
Remember, in a REAL conflict we deal with the dynamics of the fog of war.

WASHINGTON — An artificial intelligence algorithm has defeated a human F-16 fighter pilot in a virtual dogfight simulation.
The Aug. 20 event was the finale of the Pentagon research agency’s AI air combat competition. The algorithm, developed by Heron Systems, easily defeated the fighter pilot in all five rounds that capped off a yearlong competition hosted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
“It’s easy to go down the wrong path of thinking that that is either A) definitive in some way as to what the future of [basic fighter maneuvers will be]; or B) that it is a bad outcome,” said Justin Mock of DARPA, a fighter pilot and commentator for the trials. “From a human perspective, from the fighter pilot world, we talked about we trust what works. And what we saw was that in this limited area, in this specific scenario, we’ve got AI that works.”
